Adults in upstate New York experiencing anxiety, PTSD, depression, or relational difficulties who want genuine depth-oriented psychotherapy delivered in outdoor natural settings.

Modalities

Depth elements

Rooted in AEDP — an explicitly depth-oriented, experiential, emotion-focused psychotherapy — combined with ecotherapy and IFS. AEDP's focus on transformance, undoing aloneness, and core self integrated with nature-based interventions creates a uniquely depth-oriented wilderness practice. Not merely outdoor recreation with a therapeutic label.
